Introduced some foreign plants
F C7
Familiar things are strange while strangers play upon the lawn
F A#
And mother land has shed her tears for lives that never stood a chance
F C7 F
And Albert Namatjira cried, as we all cry the Native Born
C7 A#
So bow your head old eucalypt and wattle tree
F C7 F
Australia's bush is losing it's identity

While the cities and the parks that they have planned

Look out of place because the spirit's in the land

Look out of place because the spirit's in the land

Do you remember Joseph Banks who stood upon this sacred earth

And what he felt inside when he looked around and saw
F A#
the land to whom we give our thanks our mother land who's given birth
F C7 F
To trees and plants and animals he'd never seen before?

So bow your head old eucalypt and wattle tree
F C7 F
Australia's bush is losing it's identity

While the cities and the parks that they have planned

But no one knows or no one hears the way we used to sing and dance
F C7
And how the gum trees stood and stretched to greet the golden morn
F A#
and mother land still sheds her tears for lives that never stood a chance
F C7 F
And Albert Namatjira cried as we all cry the native born
C7 F
We cry the native born
